During
the last full week of September 2003, Jackie & I vacationed in Hills
Beach, Maine. During this time we did some cool things with some
cool people
and
basically
had a blast there. I would heartily recommend Maine
as a vacation spot.- Hell, I'm even considering moving there!

Anyhoo,
here are the pictures from our trip. Being that we took so many photos
(I love our digital camera!), I broke the photos down into nine categories
for ease of viewing and to make it easier for me to
describe them. (I took
some heat for not titling Jackie's
Italy Pictures)

This is the other most
popular lighthouse in Maine. This also happens to be my favorite place
in Maine - not so much for the lighthouse itself
(which is nice), but the rocky coast here is just perfect.

This
is on the Kennebunkport/Arundel border and is way cool!!!!! You
get to ride on a trolley which is nice, but the real fun begins
when you go off exploring on your own. They have so many old-time
trolleys, buses & trains (including two double-deckers!) that
they let you go on. They also are restoring a few of them and it
is cool to see the process.

Leon
took some pictures while he visited us in Maine and
here they are.. There are some excellent pictures in here - very
artistic pictures, as well as a tour of the inside of the Beach
house and a rare shot of James
tickling the ivories... (Very rare considering James doesn't play
the piano)
